Ok I wanna play too! Last winter between overtime at work and ice racing I had no time or ambition to work on bikes so we'll see how this goes. I picked up this crusty rusty fire arrow behind the powder coating shop a couple months ago
it had a Schwinn seat on it that the guy wanted back so that was first to go
at some time they hit it with a snow plow so the front end is a bit tweeked
but the tank looks pretty good.
so far the only plan is to leave it rusty and swipe the seat, stem, crank and sprocket off this scrap yard find
I already swiped the pedals for the bike I built my girlfriend for Christmas. I'm gonna try to use mostly parts I already have and keep this thing low budget. Step one,; PB blaster!
and the fun begins. Front wheel is junk
but I'll save the hub for parts. This is the secret weapon for stuck fork nuts
about two seconds and no effort and it's off
fork is going in the scrap pile too!
but I'm gonna try to straighten and save the chain guard
luckily there were no batteries in the tank so the inside is decent and there's plenty of room for hornets
glad u didn't bring this thing home in the summer
it actually came apart relatively easily, couple hours later I've got a frame, time for some sleep! Stay tuned...
